In a bit of a loop, this is also influencing the conflict over the strait. Strikes were halted until 1 hour after the market closed on Friday and then an announcement of return to ceasefire came through 1 hour before the market futures were set to start yesterday.
Agreed though. If this continues and reserves do start running low, we'll see a lot more volatility in the market.
EDIT: Current US oil reserves stand at 331 million barrels, down from 415 million barrels in February. We consume ~21 million barrels a day against a production of ~13.5 million barrels a day.
